"Swenson's group collaborated with the rebels, with the rebels providing the group transportation in exchange for food and fuel". Swenson described what he experienced as an “all-purveying, all-consuming, merciless, heart-eating, machine of war."
From this, it seems clear that this "reporter" is more interest in putting out the rebel's point of view than attempting to give a balanced account of events. As such, should Wikipedia allow Swenson a platform to push a blatant anti-government/pro-rebel agenda? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.189 ( talk) 09:39, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
According to a Wikipedia article about the group, "The UN Commission of Inquiry for Syria reported that the group unlawfully detained Hekmat Khalil al-De’ar for alleged dealings with the Syrian Democratic Forces. His dead body returned to his family the next day. The autopsy showed that he had been subjected to torture"
So perhaps the question should be: Rebels, Terrorists or Common Criminals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.205 ( talk) 21:53, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for submitting this article. I think the article is well written but needs quite a lot of work to reach a GAN status. I will leave some broad feedback below. Happy to chat about any of it! Whilst there is no threshold for short articles to be GAs, the sourcing is very limited to adequately evidence broad coverage about the game.
If you think this process may take time, I am happy to close the GAN as a fail. As you probably know, that you are welcome to start a new GAN for the article at any time whenever you like, even after a previous unsuccessful nomination. So I hope this isn't discouraging and more an opportunity for feedback on how to make the article better to a GAN standard.
Areas to think about improvement are:
@ Vrxces: Hi, I'm perfectly okay with the article being marked as a fail to have more time in the oven or left for now based on your judgment. However, I do want to make some of these things clear on how I could expand the article based on what you said:
